Big Media

Cool! Today's Boston Globe has a big story about the clinical program I'm in. The focus is on the program as a way for young lawyers to get ever-rarer courtroom experience. I chose the housing clinical because it had a reputation for sending students into court the most, so that's pretty validating.


I will be working at that very table tomorrow morning, under the supervision of the two lawyers you see talking there on the right. The story says they're changed the rules to let us at the Lawyer For A Day table actually make arguments in court - which I hadn't heard about but would be good news. Previously we could give advice and help clients prep, and we could represent them in out-of-court mediations. It would be great if it brings more volunteers in too - it always feels like battlefield medicine out there. People come in with these grave problems and all you can do is try to patch them up in a hurry and hope for the best.

Now back to editing my memo for Rounds tomorrow. I think it's due by 5 today.
